'Gutfeld!' panel discusses the year in review as 2021 comes to a close. This is a rush transcript from "Gutfeld!," December 30, 2021. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. EMILY COMPAGNO, FOX NEWS CHANNEL HOST: I know what you're thinking. Greg's never looked at this good in a dress. Like a tiny Ghost of Christmas Present, because I'm celebrating the holiday today. Because this year COVID robbed me of Christmas with my family. COVID robbed us of our studio audience. And it robbed me of my Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes. So to make up for it, we are having a feast tonight. COMPAGNO: In New Year's Eve news, Omicron fear mongers are warning people to stay away from New York's Times Square celebration. Even though previous crowds were exposed to something much worse. Thank God it'll be me hosting in Time Square this year. See you at 10:00 p.m. Eastern on Fox News. Germany's also banned large group gatherings. But you know who's never bans large gatherings of Germans? China's Wuhan Institute of virology recently hosted a conference on lab safety, to which the world responded a little (BLEEP) late, guys. In a recent segment on COVID Safety, CNN's Dr. Leana Wen admitted cloth masks don't stop transmission of the virus. Today in New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said he doesn't believe in shutdowns despite having shut down the city for months. He then added "I also oppose letting criminals roam free to murder people." Chris Tucker turned down a $10 million payday for a sequel to the awesome movie Friday, saying he's too mature to be seen behaving badly on screen anymore.

'The Five' panel react to an Amazon Alexa instructing a child to stick a penny in an electrical outlet. This is a rush transcript from "The Five," December 30, 2021. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. It's five o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five. The White House desperately trying to clean up President Biden's COVID debacle. As America hits a record number of new cases, the commander-in- chief failing to live up to his promise to shut down the virus as people wait hours in lines while states struggle with testing shortages. The president still has not signed the contract to send Americans millions of at-home tests, and he is bragging about a new test making facility that won't even be ready until -- listen to this -- 2024. And so much for following the science, the CDC is now cutting isolation period for people with COVID in half. But not to make us safer. ANTHONY FAUCI, DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES: The reason is that now that we have such an overwhelming volume of cases coming in, many of which are without symptoms, there is the danger that this is going to have a really negative impact on our ability to really get society to function properly. So, the CDC made a decision to balance what is good for public health at the same time as keeping the society running. ROCHELLE WALENSKY, DIRECTOR, CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL: It really had a lot to do with what we thought people would be able to tolerate. We really want to make sure that we have guidance in this moment where we were going to have a lot of disease that could be adhered to, that people were willing to adhere to and that spoke specifically to when people were maximally infectious. So, it really spoke to both behaviors as well as what people were able to do. MCENANY (on camera): President Biden is also being accused of sabotaging a key, life-saving treatment. Florida surgeon general claims the Biden administration has been, quote, "actively preventing monoclonal antibody treatments as states are running out of that therapeutic." Republicans are not happy about it. DAN CRENSHAW (R-TX): In Texas, we are one of those states that doesn't have these monoclonal antibodies anymore. We have been complaining to the administration about how these formulas are distributed.

Nine technologies developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory have been selected as R&D 100 Award winners for 2021.

As 2021 draws to a close, we look back on some of the AI research, news, policy developments and awards that have piqued our interest. We start our round-up with awards, with many prestigious prizes being presented this year. Launched last year, the AAAI Squirrel AI Award recognises positive impacts of artificial intelligence to protect, enhance, and improve human life in meaningful ways with long-lived effects. The winner of the 2021 award was Cynthia Rudin for work in interpretable and transparent AI systems in real-world deployments. The 2021/2022 ACM Athena Lecturer Award went to Ayanna Howard, who was recognised for fundamental contributions to the development of accessible human-robotic systems and AI, and for her efforts to broaden participation in computing through entrepreneurial and mentoring.

Cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and many more have helped to build chatbots and voicebots for the utmost customer satisfaction in the highly competitive market. Industries need to leverage more AI products and solutions to deliver optimized performance in the long run efficiently and effectively without any damage and error. Here is an exclusive interview with Amit Gandhi, Founder, and CEO, NovelVox, who has enlightened the readers about how the company leverages artificial intelligence to offer a Conversational AI-based platform as well as a sentiment analyzer to have a better understanding of the market. NovelVox can be referred to as a software product house that has been revolutionizing the contact center industry for over the past decade. Since 2008, it has been offering tools to integrate core applications of multiple industries, including healthcare, retail, banking, insurance to name a few.
